DETAILED DESCRIPTION

To further illustrate, embodiments detailing a ceramic atomizer aredescribed below. It should be noted that the following embodiments areintended to describe and not to limit the disclosure.

As shown in FIGS. 1-3, the disclosure provides a ceramic atomizercomprising a mouthpiece 1, a connector 2, a seal ring 3, a seal gasket4, a glass tube 5, an atomizing rod 6, a strip of nonwoven cotton 7, asilicone pad 8, a rubber ring 9, a ceramic core 10, a decorative ring11, a ceramic base 12, a base 13, an insulating ring 14, and a joint 15.

The strip of nonwoven cotton 7 is wrapped around the ceramic core 10 toabsorb e-liquid which is atomized by the ceramic core 10. The ceramiccore 10 is fixed on the ceramic base 12. The ceramic base 12 is fixed inthe atomizing rod 6. The base 13 is made of pure copper and the innerwall of the base comprises a protruding step. The lower end of theceramic atomizing rod 6 is disposed in the base 13 and clamped in thestep for fixation. The rubber ring 9 is disposed between the lower endof the outer wall of the atomizing rod 6 and the inner wall of the base13 to seal the gap therebetween. The insulating ring 14 is disposed inthe bottom opening of the base 13 to separate the positive and negativepins of the ceramic core 10, and the joint 15 is disposed in theinsulating ring 14 for fixing and contacting the positive and negativepins of the ceramic core 10. The silicone pad 8 is disposed on the upperedge of the base 13 for sealing the bottom opening of the glass tube 5,and the decorative ring 11 is sheathed on the base 13 for fixing theglass tube 5. The glass tube 5 is nested in the decorative ring 11 andthe edge of the bottom side wall of the glass tube 5 is in contact withthe silicone pad 8. The atomizing rod 6 is disposed in the glass tube 5.The atomizing rod 6 comprises two e-liquid inlets which are disposed ina line along the extension direction of the atomizing rod 6. Theconnector 2 is disposed on the top end of the atomizing rod 6. The sealring 3 is disposed between the connector 2 and the top end of theatomizing rod 6. The seal gasket 4 is disposed in the bottom opening ofthe mouthpiece 1 to seal the upper opening of the glass tube 5. Thebottom end of the mouthpiece 4 is disposed in the upper opening of theglass tube 5 and the connector 2 is disposed in the cavity of themouthpiece 1.

In certain embodiments, the mouthpiece 1, the atomizing rod 6, and theceramic core 10 are made of ceramic materials, and optionally, quartz,crystal, mica and jade are also practicable. The ceramic core 10 can bein the shape of concave cylinder, concave square, concave hemisphere,concave cone, or concave polygon and comprises at least one through holein the shape of circle, ellipse, triangle, quadrilateral, polygon, mesh.The heating wire of the ceramic core can be more than two alloy wires inthe shape of planar sieve, network, or lattice and disposed at thebottom of the ceramic core 10 or around the periphery of the ceramiccore 10 in parallel or in series.

The following advantages are associated with the ceramic atomizer of thedisclosure:

1. The mouthpiece and the atomizing rod of the atomizer are made ofceramic and zirconia, with high density, high hardness, smooth surfaceand impermeability, and are both environment-friendly and healthy. Themouthpiece and the atomizing rod of the conventional atomizer are madeof plastic or metal materials. The air flow and smoke will produceunpleasant smell when passing through the plastic or metal materials,which is not environment-friendly and healthy.

2. The ceramic atomizing rod of the atomizer comprises two e-liquidinlets which are disposed in a line along the extension direction of theatomizing rod. When one of the inlets is blocked, the other can alsowork.

3. The base comprises pure copper and the inner wall of the basecomprises a protruding step; the lower end of the atomizing rod isdisposed in the base and clamped in the step for fixation, thuspreventing the breaking of the base under external force.

It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that changes andmodifications may be made, and therefore, the aim in the appended claimsis to cover all such changes and modifications.
